Meet DJ Timothy Wisdom, an explorer of beats and scientist of sound, this local DJ has been tearing it up and down the coast for years now. Perhaps you’ve seen his name on posters around town, or maybe you’ve been lucky enough to be in a room that he’s filling with beats so lovingly manipulated and transformed into an energetic, infectious, magnetic and all around FUN vibe....

Timothy has spent a year developing the $3,000 prototype that he says is the first DJ setup ever to offer two-way communication between computer and equipment; the computer can "talk" to the turntables, and the turntables can in turn "talk" to the computer. Much like Final Scratch, Timothy's system uses computer files in place of vinyl, and a turntable to simulate the look and feel of traditional dee-jaying. Beyond the innovations of Final Scratch, though, D'Groove offers several additional levels of interface, including the haptic bump mode...
